ETHAN HAWKE
He is my number one! :)))
I have always liked him since I have watched Dead Poet's Society as the painfully shy Todd Anderson. I have not seen him in any movie after that until the youth oriented film, Mystery Date. In the 90s, he was perfect as the slacker Troy Dyer in Reality Bites. Falling in love with Ethan Hawke as Jesse in Before Sunrise is just essential. Before Sunset made me want to be Celine (go, watch the movie, if you don't know who Celine is and if you haven't seen this movie - dear Lord, you are definitely missing a lot!).
The thing with Ethan Hawke is there is something beautiful about him. It's not just his great looks, his eyes, his height or built. Call it an X factor but Ethan Hawke is beautiful. Angsty? I don't think so. I don't know. Ethan is my favorite actor of all time maybe because we grew up in the same generation, the Gen X. Reality Bites and Before Sunrise are two movies I will always cherish.
It gave me a different kind of excitement knowing that he was the main actor in Sinister. Yes, of course, I watched it. There is a scarcity of Ethan Hawke films for years and I will not miss a movie of him. I cannot wait for Getaway and Before Midnight.
And look at Ethan here - seems to be shooing away paps and seems to have just gotten up from bed. Still adorable specially because of the cute daughter on his lap and the dog beside. He is aging gracefully. Fatherly. :)

KEANU REEVES
I'm trying to recall when I first liked Keanu. It's not in Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure nor in My Own Private Idaho. It was in Brotherhood of Justice where I liked him first. Then there's Speed, The Devil's Advocate and of course The Matrix series. I hope to see Keanu spruced up and raring to go again in the big screen.
Speaking of My Own Private Idaho, if RIVER PHOENIX is alive today, he'll be in my list.

RYAN GOSLING
There's this movie called Stay which stars Ryan Gosling, Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts. I have watched Fracture where he starred with Anthony Hopkins. I liked both movies but have never really took note of Ryan Gosling, not until I have watched Ides of March. Man, was he good there! Then I watched Crazy, Stupid, Love - he was the epitome of coolness. Drive was a good movie in my humble opinion. Ryan was also good there. I backtracked his movies and appreciate them more. :)
CILLIAN MURPHY
Oh the accent, and the eyes! Just wow! Among the three - Ethan, Ryan and Cillian - Cillian is the best actor. I am still looking for Peacock where he played dual role. One was the painfully shy husband whom you wouldn't think is Cillian. I loved his bad boy character in Red Eye which he played so well. I watched through YouTube his movie, The Wind that Shakes the Barley where he as a different accent which he did so well. I wish to see him more in the big screen.
And who is this man?

What I like most about Cillian Murphy is that he can play any role without being conscious of how he looks. In this aspect he reminds me of Johnny Depp.
JOHNNY DEPP
Why wouldn't I like him? I liked him already in his very forgettable role in The Nightmare on Elm Street. Haha! And then there's another 80s television series, 21 Jumpstreet he topbills with spike hair full of gel. He metamorphosed into a really great actor. Until now I still love watching him in What's Eating Gilbert Grape (together with the very young and handsome Leonardo DiCaprio). Johnny Depp is like a chameleon. I love him as Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I didn't know he can sing in Sweeney Todd. He was funny in Sleepy Hollow and just himself in The Secret Window, haha, or maybe in Pirates of the Caribbean. :) I love him in Donnie Brasco, Public Enemies but I love him best as Edward Scissorhands.

Two other actors which I like somewhat like the four above but not as much but going there (just let me be, hahaha) - Josh Hartnett and Ezra Miller.
JOSH HARNETT
Josh - because he is wonderful to look at, haha. Yes, I admit I have not found anything about Josh yet the things or qualities I have found with Ethan, Ryan and Cillian. But I like him. I particularly like his role in 40 Days and 40 Nights. Funny! I have watched him in Wicker Park and 30 Days of Night. I have bought the DVD of The Black Dahlia. He was wonderful in Lucky Number Slevin. Like Cillian, I hope he makes more movies. He deserves to be in the big screen.
EZRA MILLER
Now, Ezra Miller I took to liking when I watched him as the transgender Patrick in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. So good! In my search of him over the net, I found out he was the evil kid in We Need to Talk About Kevin. Now, I need to have a copy of that movie. :)))
Runners up would be CHACE CRAWFORD, the Nate Archibald of Gossip Girl. He was the reason why I got hooked with GG before. I also like IAN SOMERHALDER mainly because of his good looks. I wouldn't mind if he will be Christian Grey in the movie version of Fifty Shades of Grey. ZAC EFRON is also a good choice. I like him since High School Musical days. He seems to be a nice guy on and off the camera. It's a nice feeling that he appreciates the beauty of the Philippines when he visited a few weeks back.

If ALAIN DELON happen to belong in this generation, I guess we wouldn't see RPatz as Edward Cullen. In my humble opinion, it would Alain Delon or Ethan Hawke.

Oh well, let me not be confined with actors. Let me say this is a list of personalities I really love. Sharing the number one spot with Ethan Hawke is ANDERSON COOPER! Need I say more? He is intelligent, he is good looking, very dignified, a great host!
Anderson is my wallpaper. :) I took a screenshot of it and posted in my Instagram account.

Next break time, I will be sharing the women I adore. :)))
